I see myself with two usage patterns. One is where I keep the file in org (or muse) format, and export to docbook and eventually pdf for external consumption. The other is where I use org (or muse) to "start" the docbook file, and then continue to edit the docbook. This is because docbook is so much richer than any wiki format, and I want to take advantage of what's there. -Dale -- Dale P.
